Engineered for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to produce and design units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs many reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make sure that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the equipment if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks that have IC engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it way easier to change.
